As far as I understand genkernel, the only real difference is the making |
| 12 |
of the initrd. Genkernel pulls in some modules defined by it's default |
| 13 |
configuration. So if your system needs these modules to boot, and your |
| 14 |
"manual" build of the initrd does not include these modules, your kernel |
| 15 |
will not boot. |

Did you ever try to find out, which modules your system needs? If you |
| 18 |
build these drivers into your kernel and not as modules, everything |
| 19 |
should work. |

Another mistake often made are spelling and copy & paste errors. For |
| 23 |
example you are writing at under point 4 "initrm.2.6.21". Did you mean |
| 24 |
"initrd.2.6.21"? |
